Description

From the iconic Number One best seller Ian Rankin, comes one of the must-listen audiobooks of the year: A Song for the Dark Times.

"He's gone..."

When his daughter Samantha calls in the dead of night, John Rebus knows it's not good news. Her husband has been missing for two days.

Rebus fears the worst - and knows from his lifetime in the police that his daughter will be the prime suspect.

He wasn't the best father - the job always came first - but now his daughter needs him more than ever. But is he going as a father or a detective?

As he leaves at dawn to drive to the windswept coast - and a small town with big secrets - he wonders whether this might be the first time in his life where the truth is the one thing he doesn't want to find....

Wouldn’t recommend.

Story was choppy and boring. The narrator was just too difficult to understand a lot of the time.

Rebus back in action!

An exciting return of Rebus in a more active mode. He may have slowed down, but his detecting skills are skilled as ever. Samantha, Rebus’ daughter call for him to help find her missing husband. If Rebus hoped for a happy reunion with his daughter and granddaughter, he is in for a rude awakening. Samantha is stressed, miserable, and not ready to forgive her father for his estrangement over the years of her childhood. Rebus becomes involved in a local mystery which has its roots in an internment camp dating back to WW2. Meanwhile back at home, police, including Siobhan, and Malcolm Fox, have their own problems, a murder, and a missing aristocrat who owns land near the village where Rebus’ daughter resides. So good to See Rebus actively investigating, instead of being treated like a dinosaur, a has been. Nice work, Mr. Rankin.

great as usual

I've read all of the John rebus books and I've enjoyed them all some are better than others but they're still all great reads and in my opinion all five stars. Ian Rankin is a Scottish national treasure.

Confusing

The double but overlapping plot with the historical pros or camp background results in too many characters and is hard to follow.

Mediocre story, horribly read

I wish I had never started this story. it's a mediocre yarn, with a vast cast of unlikeable characters playing out a convoluted, pointless plot.

the story is delivered in a brogue so thick, I had to roll it back several times to make out was set. Lots of dialog with speakers unidentified or alternately ID'd by surnames, nicknames, and given names. it's confusing and irritating.

Way too much family angst.

I usually enjoy this series very much. But I found this one tedious and simply not up Rankin's usual.
Rebus he is called by his daughter to request his help and then she treats him like garbage when he's trying to help her, she runs a litany of all his wrongs. And the then considerable family squabbling overtakes the mystery itself.
irritating at its best, and a lackluster story at its worst. The most authentic character is Rebus himself as he actually continues to be who he really is.
